  The present invention relates to a product display fixture, and in particular, a product display sales fixture using a product tray provided with a mechanism for pushing forward a plurality of cubic product packages arranged side by side in a plurality of rows and a plurality of rows for each product brand. It is about.

Technical background

  The product tray equipped with a mechanism that pushes forward multiple cube-shaped product packages mounted in tandem is a box shape with a long depth and no lid. The package has an excellent function of moving to the front row, and it is widely used especially for supermarkets and convenience store cash registers for cigarette display sales.

  In order to efficiently display and sell dozens of types of cigarettes, each brand is mounted on a single product tray, which is housed in a housing with multiple stages of shelves to form an integrated sales fixture. However, they are placed on store shelves, counters, etc., and used mainly by salespeople.

  The function of the product tray is very excellent as described above, and there is no room for improvement. However, the size of the housing for storing these products depends on the scale of the store, the number of brands handled, the installation location, etc. Due to the various towns, they are usually manufactured by bonding a small number of transparent acrylic plates, etc., and the production cost is high due to the small number of production lots. In addition, there is a drawback in that it cannot sufficiently cope with an increase or decrease in the number of product trays to be stored when a new product is released or canceled, or when the installation location is moved.

  In the present invention, the product trays on the upper, lower, left and right sides are supported and connected to each other by a detachable connecting plate while the excellent function of the product tray is maintained, thereby forming a multi-row and multi-stage product display sales fixture.

  The fixture structure with the product tray and connecting plate of the present invention is a detachable assembly type, and since it does not use a housing, it can cope with increase / decrease in the number of brands and movement of the sales floor without difficulty, as well as the production cost of sales fixtures. Realize significant savings.

  The cigarette display sales appliance 1 according to the present invention will be described by taking the cigarette display sales appliance 1 which is the best mode for implementation as an example. Cigarette display comprising a plurality of box-shaped product trays 10 having a long depth and having no lid, and a plurality of detachable connecting plates 20 provided with a mechanism for pushing forward a plurality of cigarette packages 30 arranged side by side. The sales fixture 1 has two pairs of key-shaped protrusions 11 projecting inwardly on the outer side of one side surface of the product tray 10, and two pairs of the key-shaped protrusions 11 on one side surface on the other side surface. By projecting a pair of key-shaped protrusions 11 inward at a position that fits in the middle, when a plurality of product trays 10 are arranged side by side, the outer side of each key-shaped protrusion 11 is the side surface of the adjacent product tray 10. Line up side by side with no gap.

  The connecting plate 20 is a single plate, and the upper side and the lower side are each divided into three pieces to a depth that is half the vertical height of the key-shaped protrusion 11 protruding from the side surface of the product tray 10. The one side of the two adjacent pieces is scraped off slightly less than one half of the thickness, and the central one piece has an engaging portion 21 for the product tray 10 formed in a shape in which the other side is similarly cut off. Further, the shape of the plate surface portion excluding the engaging portion 21 to the product tray 10 on the upper side and the lower side is a substantially parallelogram.

The invention's effect

  The cigarette display sales fixture 1 which is the product display sales fixture of the present invention is greatly reduced by eliminating the case where the cost is high due to the production of a small lot according to the scale of the store, the number of brands handled, the installation location, etc. Cost reduction is realized, and since it is freely detachable, it is possible to easily cope with increase / decrease in the number of product trays 10 when a new product is released or discontinued, or the location of the store is moved.

  Hereinafter, a cigarette display sales fixture 1 which is a product display sales fixture according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an entire state in which the cigarette display sales fixture 1 according to the present invention is used in three rows and three stages, that is, nine cigarette brands, using nine commodity trays 10 and eight connecting plates 20. Yes.

  The connecting plates 20 engaged with the key-shaped protrusions 11 projecting on both side surfaces of the product tray 10 connect the trays 10 side by side and increase the height of the cigarette package 30 while raising and lowering the product trays 10. They are also detachably connected. With this connection configuration, it is possible to increase or decrease the number of rows and columns.

  Since the shape of the flat plate portion excluding the engaging portion 21 to the product tray 10 on the upper side and the lower side of the connecting plate 20 is a substantially parallelogram, when the product tray 10 having the same depth dimension is connected vertically, the upper product The tray 10 is set back slightly larger than the thickness of one cigarette package 30 than the lower product tray 10, so that the tobacco package 30 can be easily taken out from the lower product tray 10.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the product tray 10 as viewed from the diagonally upper left and right. Since the push-out mechanism of the cigarette package 30 is the same as in the prior art, it is omitted in order to avoid complication of the drawing, but two pairs of key-shaped protrusions 11 are inward on the outer side of one side of the product tray 10. A pair of key-shaped protrusions 11 protrudes inwardly on the other side surface at a position that fits between the two pairs of key-shaped protrusions 11 on one side surface. The engagement portions 21 on the upper side or the lower side of the connecting plate 20 are embraced by the total three pairs of key-shaped protrusions 11 provided inwardly and are detachably engaged.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the connecting plate 20. The connecting plate 20 is a single plate, and the upper side and the lower side are each divided into three pieces to a depth half the vertical height of the key-shaped protrusion 11 on the side of the product tray 10, and two pieces on the outer side. Each side of the sheet is cut off slightly thinner than one half of the thickness, and the center piece is formed in a shape in which the other side is cut off in the same manner as the engaging portion 21 to the product tray 10. In the present embodiment, as described above, the shape of the flat plate portion excluding the engaging portions 21 to the product tray 10 on the upper side and the lower side is a substantially parallelogram.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional plan view of the product tray 10 in the engaged state between the key-shaped protrusion 11 and the engaging portion 21 of the connecting plate 20. The dimension of the gap between the side surface of the product tray 10 and the inside of the key-shaped protrusion 11 that engages the engaging portion 21 of the connecting plate 20 is about one-half of the thickness of the connecting plate 20. Since each of the three divided engaging portions 21 is formed to be slightly thinner than a half of the thickness, the side-by-side product trays 10 can be connected one after another. That is, one connecting plate 20 is engaged with the product trays 10 by engaging one product tray 10 with two outer engaging portions 21 and the other product tray 10 with a central engaging portion 21. Are connected in contact with each other.

  In addition, as shown in the front sectional view of FIG. 5, the engaging portions 21 on the upper side and the lower side of the connecting plate 20 are each formed with a half dimension of the height dimension of the key-shaped protrusion 11 of the product tray 10. By engaging the upper and lower halves of the key-shaped protrusions 11 of the upper and lower product trays 10, multi-stage upper and lower stacking is possible.

  The cigarette display sales fixture according to the present invention, which is composed of a plurality of product trays having a mechanism for pushing forward a plurality of cigarette packages mounted side by side and a plurality of detachable connecting plates, is detachable. Therefore, not only can it respond quickly to changes in the sales environment, such as the number of brands to be handled, installation locations, or the release or discontinuation of new cigarettes, but it can also be significantly reduced by eliminating high-cost cases due to small lot production. We are convinced that it has been greatly used as a fixture that is indispensable for selling cigarettes at supermarkets and convenience stores because it has realized cost reductions.
